Good article, but I think you give the nutritional scientists a huge pass here; it's not just a failure of communication, but rather a surprisingly high frequency of a failure of competence over the past few decades. Poorly-designed research protocols, folk knowledge masquerading as science, and too much… Read more

Awesome article! I too have battled jelaousy and eventually came to be aware when it's happening and practiced feeling gratitude instead. I never once thought though, that "silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone." So here I am writing a comment on Lifehacker for the first time :) Good job! Read more

It appears that so many of our security protocols are falling apart. I bet we're just scratching the surface and more will come this coming year. Thanks for the excellent article Melanie. Read more

One of my best New Phone (for family, friends, etc) tricks is installing the Google Drive Sync program on their personal computer. Once the user realizes every doc, photo, song is synced between computer and phone they fall in love. Read more

At first glance I thought "not another twee desk from some tormented joker looking for authenticity". Then I read the annotations and the dude (Dued?) actually uses all of the stuff. Read more

I'm definitely sleep deprived, though that's what happens when you have a newborn. :) Read more

1. Water is fine, as the plant gets it's nutrients from topsoil and whatever amendments you choose to use in the soil. Read more

I have to say something. Whenever you are eating something and you think it's missing something, but don't know what it is. It's always vinegar. You need the acid to help the flavors really meld together. At least, that's what I think Burneko was saying. It's hard to keep track of his posts. Methinks it was in… Read more

Try soaking strawberries in balsamic vinegar with a dash of pepper for 15 min and use as topping for angel food cake. Serious yumminess. Read more

So THAT's why hot sauce makes most bowl foods so much better. Vinegar base. Read more

Would you rather they try to claim causation where it's not provable? They use those words because the results only imply correlation. The small sample size is likely due to the within subjects design, which is actually far more accurate than larger between subjects designs. Read more

Coming up on 28 years here and you nailed it with this article....I would add something about a sense of humor and ability to laugh at oneself.....not taking yourself too seriously. Read more

1. If you value your security, yes. If someone has been logging a popular site for a while, they've got reams and reams of username/passes to mess with. It's quite possible that you could be fine for 6 months and someone finally gets around to your particular entry on a spreadsheet somewhere. Read more

yeah I also hope to prolong the "PRESENT EXTRAVAGANZA!" precedent as long as possible. Her birthdays to date have been pretty low key affairs with a few gifts from the family :D. Read more

Thank you. Seriously, thank you. Read more

You all literally have the most relevant articles to things I am thinking about in life! I've been thinking of getting a new purse for a few weeks, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks, Melanie! Read more

While I like most articles that come from Lifehacker, this one is really top notch. Having kids is probably a while away from someone like me, but it's great to be able to see all in one place an actionable list of the social graces that a kid should have and when they should be taught. Thanks so much, Melanie! :D Read more

You and me both, Melanie. Although I was a weird kid in that regard (never thought my parents were uncool, was never embarrassed by them...and although they DID piss me off occasionally, I always respected them), my 6 year old daughter is very much my wife emotionally, and I know for a fact she put her parents… Read more
